(Minghui.org) On a sunny New Year's Day, a group in blue jackets performed the Falun Gong exercises in front of the Taichung City Government building.

“I would not have stood here if I don't practice Falun Gong,” said 46-year-old Lee Chia-ling, holding a large banner reading “Falun Dafa Is Great.” Like others, Lee saw great improvements in her health during the lowest stage of her life.

Falun Gong practitioners have group meditation on the square in front of Taichung City Government on January 1, 2016. The large banner reads “Falun Dafa Is Great.”

Practitioners in Taichung wish the founder of Falun Gong a happy new year. The large banner in front reads “Greetings, Master Li.”

Lee recalled that before she learned Falun Gong, she had palpitations, arrhythmia, and frequent spells of dizziness. She couldn't find the cause even after numerous medical exams. Her health deteriorated after she gave birth to her child. She tried Yoga and various courses to improve her spirits but was unsuccessful.

Her father then died from acute hepatitis, deepening her depression. She tried to find the meaning of life by reading books and attending seminars recommended by others, to no avail.

One day, she read a story online about a university professor who practiced Falun Gong. She then read Falun Gong books and found that she became healthier and had a better mood. Her change also had positive effects on her work and family.

She works in a foreign trading company and used to feel tired at noon. She worked hard to impress her supervisor, but it did not work. After learning Falun Gong, she came to the understanding that she should do her best in her work but not seek praise. She let go of her attachment to fame and conducted her work carefully. Her supervisor praised her.

At home, she found better ways to communicate with her child and became more tolerant.

“The Power of Stability”

“I've benefited a lot from practicing Falun Gong,” said Chen Yu-nu, holding her grandson's hand. “I'm so healthy that my daughter doesn't need to worry. I thank Master Li.”

Chen has practiced Falun Gong for over ten years. In the past, she had degenerative arthritis in her knees, could not squat down due to needle-like pain, had frequent headaches, and felt pain from any wind blowing. Her symptoms were all gone after she started practicing Falun Gong.

Her daughter Ms. Jiang said, “My mother is more energetic than most people her age. She looks even more energetic than me. She hasn't been sick in a whole year.” Seeing the changes in her mother, she also started practicing Falun Gong.

Ms. Jiang continued, “My mother is positive and lets me feel the power of stability. I like to stay with my mother.”

“My mother always says positive words. I feel encouraged and would have a positive view. I would be patient. I feel fortunate to have learned Falun Gong. I will be more diligent.”
